Visiting Information
Allawah House
Allawah House is set in the peaceful village of Sedgeford, Norfolk and sleeps 7 people in 4 bedrooms. It's tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and offers a stylish retreat for guests looking for somewhere to relax, unwind and enjoy the North Norfolk coastline.
The house itself was built in 2002 and had one previous owner before we bought it in 2020. We named it ‘Allawah House’ - it’s an Australian Aboriginal word meaning 'make your abode here' or 'remain here'.
The detached house with entrance ramp/level access, consists of a spacious kitchen, separate dining room, a large living room and a light and airy sun room together with a ground floor toilet and utility room with outdoor access. Upstairs are 4 generous bedrooms, one with an ensuite, and a family bathroom. The south-facing garden boasts an electric sun shade with patio and large garden space.
Sedgeford
Sedgeford is situated about 3 miles south east of Hunstanton and is located in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The village lies in a fertile valley in the belt of chalk covering this area, with a small river running through it.
The village is recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. Part of the church, built of flint and stone, is Anglo-Saxon in origin. Archaeological evidence shows that people have lived in the locality from much earlier times, with remains of Roman villas, pottery and a gold torc from the Iron Age and many earlier artefacts, like the Neolithic flint tools which are found in fields and gardens.
The Sedgeford Historical and Archæological Research Project (SHARP) was established in 1996 to reconstruct the story of human settlement in the parish. This on-going project is one of the largest independent archaeological projects in Britain and firmly rooted in the local community. The dig site usually opens to the public for 6 weeks in the summer.
National cycle route 1 and the Peddars Way passes through the village.

Dog Friendly
Your dog/s are just as much a part of the family, so why not bring them on holiday too?
Allawah House can accommodate up to 2 dogs. The garden is enclosed with a side gate and has an outdoor tap and hose. Access is via the utility room. We have water bowls and a separate bin caddy for their waste. We do, however, ask that dogs remain downstairs and do not use the furniture. Dogs should never be left in the house alone and guests are responsible for cleaning up after them. There is plenty of green space locally in Sedgeford and surrounding areas.
Dogs are permitted on beaches, though some restrictions apply - check here.

You may find yourself needing a day of going nowhere. Allawah House has a selection of board games, books and DVDs for children and adults alike. It won't take long for the children to find a variety of toys in the sun room. All televisions are smart TVs where you can access your Netflix/Prime/Disney+ accounts. A wonderful enclosed playground can be found 2 minutes away at the Sedgeford Village Hall on Jarvie Close alongside a football ground.
